Here, the Lord said this is a good thing

"Ah……"

In a block some distance away from the Continental Hotel, Griffith, who was strolling on the street, suddenly chuckled.

He raised his head, exposing his extremely handsome face hidden by the brim of his hat to the air. His eyes, as clear as the sky and as deep as the red moon, looked directly in the direction of the Continental Hotel.

Although he was not at the scene, he still felt some changes in the fate of a certain god caused by Ye He's personal will!

Unlike the gods who can change the fate of mortal believers with just a thought, the situation is completely opposite in Yehe.

"His will twists the fate of the gods... It makes the gods who should have fallen become right again, and makes the gods who should no longer appear be reborn... Hehe."

Griffith murmured his own evaluation of Ye He. Although he was smiling, his smile seemed a little bitter.

When the fate of a world is controlled by a mortal and can be manipulated and changed at will by this mortal... this is not a good thing!
What’s worse is that this mortal is Ye He!

Ye He is the most moody and only acts based on his personal preferences!
Even everything Ye He has done so far can be considered a "good thing" for the world.

But once we look at the entire river of time and space, it is hard to say whether Ye He’s current actions are good or bad.

Griffith does not have the ability to see the entire river of time and space, but he is extremely sensitive to things like "disasters", "bad things" and "misfortunes".

The fact that he was resurrected by the Blood Knight and became the Blood Knight's successor has given Griffith a very bad "intuition".

After arriving in Cedarville, especially after meeting Ye He last night, Griffith's intuition became more and more "active".

When Griffith thought that he might need to join forces with other knights and the savior to fight against Ye He, he felt his shoulders tired and the pressure was overwhelming.

Let’s try to ensure that this guy doesn’t “fall” first… Wait, this guy isn’t trying to control “fall”, is he?

He was going to revive a fallen god who might have fallen, and control him like any other mortal...

His interest in the "Fallen God Realm"... why is it that the more he thinks about it, the more likely it is that he will become the master of the Fallen God Realm?

Griffith was shocked by his own bold idea. He shook his head, looked left and right at the empty street, and after making sure that no one noticed him, he pushed open a shop door and walked in.

"Welcome! This... lady? Oh no, beautiful sir! Please forgive my offense, I really couldn't confirm your gender at the first moment!"

A graceful female shop owner is running this "trendy" looking store.

The main business of the store should be selling stationery, various styles of pencils and pens, as well as paper of various sizes, which are all in demand at the nearby Cedarville University.

In addition, some magazines and novels that should be popular among young ladies are also sold here.

A banner with the words "The latest series of The Great Detective Legend is now on sale" was hung by the female shop owner, who looked particularly lively, in a place that could be seen as soon as one entered the door.

Griffith's eyes swept across the banner. He was very curious to see which book in this series had been released. He was also a reader of "The Amorous Detective".

But business was important, so Griffith's attention was quickly focused on the female shop owner.

He extended his hand to the female shopkeeper and said to her directly:
"Ms. Melina of the Secret Keeper Clan, please return my scabbard to me. I need it."

Melina's smile froze.

Phil, Cathy, and now here comes a "scarlet" knight.

Her disguise of faking her own death was flawless, and even her appearance had been adjusted from that of an old woman to that of a young lady.

How on earth could these people see through their disguises so easily?

(Fei Er: There are too many flaws in the smashed old bookstore! If it weren’t for cooperating with you, I wouldn’t bother to continue investigating your whereabouts!)
(Kathy: I don’t know! I was just thinking about returning a book to my Grandma Melina, how did I end up in this store?)
"I understand that you want to protect your identity. You have too much information that needs to be kept secret. I will not reveal your identity, but could you please return my scabbard to me?"

Griffith spoke to Melina very gently and politely, and took off his hat and saluted to Melina.

His beautiful appearance, strong figure and polite manners made him look like a noble man.

As if realizing that she had no way out, Melina sighed softly, then nodded to Griffith and stretched out a hand with her palm facing up:
"Give me your 'key'."

"Thank you."

Griffith stood up straight and flicked the hat in his hand, causing the jet-black threads that made up the hat to disintegrate and then condense into his hand again.

The silk threads that made up the hat reflected the lights in the store, quickly taking on a liquid feel. They also gathered into a liquid state when condensed in Griffith's hands, and finally condensed into a drop of black teardrop-shaped gem.

It turns out that the hat itself was made by Griffith using the energy of the Blood Knight.

This energy, which surpasses the blood used by the Blood Knights, gives people a feeling of "black blood", and the condensed and concentrated energy presents a gemstone texture because the power of the Blood Knights is too strong.

Griffith handed the "gem" floating in the air to Melina, and after Melina took it, she immediately pulled out a necklace from her arms.

She brought the "gem" close to the top of the necklace, and the "gem" further condensed, and finally condensed into a "mini gem" the size of a grain of rice, falling to the end of Melina's necklace.

Finally, the gem was accurately inlaid into a metal pendant at the end of the necklace. It looked perfectly natural, as if it was supposed to belong there.

Melina closed her eyes and her body floated slightly. Her body began to expand and contract continuously, as if time was moving through her body.

Griffith watched the changes in the Secret Keeper. She suddenly returned to the state of a young girl, then quickly "grew up", then "aged", until she returned to her true state as an old woman.

"In the name of the holders of the ancient oath of protection... return it!"

Melina, with her wrinkled face, opened her mouth and uttered a spell, but her voice did not seem to keep up with the changes in her appearance, and the sound of her chanting still sounded like that of a young girl.

"Wow!"

The black gem at the end of the necklace began to emit a dazzling black light, and something began to emerge from this light.

Feeling the pull of energy from the same source, Griffith subconsciously stretched out his hand forward.

A cool metallic touch fell into Griffith's hand, and he gripped the object tightly, pulling it towards himself.

The light quickly disappeared, and Melina fell back to the ground. The wrinkles on her face quickly smoothed out, and in the blink of an eye she returned to the posture of a young girl that matched her voice, a dozen years younger than her previous adult woman.

Melina opened her eyes and immediately saw the "scabbard" in Griffith's hand.

This is a completely black scabbard decorated with many geometric stripes made of red crystal. A strong bloody smell emanates from the mouth of the scabbard, making people feel that it really belongs to Griffith, or in other words, it is a rare item belonging to the power of the Blood Knight in Griffith's body.

After Griffith checked the scabbard, he nodded to Melina and prepared to leave.

He slapped the scabbard onto the tie on his chest, staining the tie with the original red geometric stripes on the scabbard, and then turned and left Melina's shop.

Melina could only watch Griffith leave. Apart from feeling sad that another bloody storm was about to break out on the continent, as a mere secret keeper, she could do nothing.

"Wow...that gentleman...is so handsome?"

"Eh? You are... the store manager isn't here?"

Several female students from Cedarville University entered the store. While discussing their glimpse of Griffith, they noticed Melina, who appeared in the form of a girl.

"Mom is out getting supplies, is there anything you need?"

Melina, who was already accustomed to switching identities, quickly responded to the doubts of these female students.

……

In addition to Griffith, there was also a VIP auction guest holding a premium admission ticket who had not yet arrived on a train heading to Cedarville.

Catalina opened her eyes ten minutes early and looked out the car window.

The most eye-catching scenery outside the window was the city of Cedarville, which was getting closer and closer. However, it was this city that suddenly gave Catalina an unprecedented sense of strangeness.

"Your Highness, there are still fifteen minutes left. You can continue to rest."

The royal maid who accompanied Catalina reminded her that she knew she had not slept for two nights.

"No need..."

A flash of purple lightning appeared in Her Royal Highness's eyes, and quickly gathered in the depths of her eyes.

All the electric lights finally condensed into a simple symbol full of special aura. This turned out to be a divine seal belonging to the Lord of Corruption!
To be precise, this is the divine seal of the [Lord of Corruption] when he was still the [God of Energy] before he became the [Lord of Corruption].

Having suffered a loss, Katarina would no longer use the power of the Lord of Corruption, but she successfully found out what the emblem of the God of Energy looked like through investigation of ancient documents and comparison of some relic materials.

No one knows how smart Katarina is. She does not use the power of the [Lord of Corruption], but takes advantage of the fact that the [Lord of Corruption] and the [God of Energy] are the same god, and secretly digs out the seal of the [God of Energy] for use.

Moreover, as the best follower chosen by the Lord of Corruption, Katarina's utilization rate and effectiveness of the seal of the God of Energy are unmatched by others.

Through this divine seal that suited her very well, Catalina quickly discovered the source of the strange feeling given to her by the approaching city of Sedawell!

It was a huge magic circle that could not be seen by ordinary people. It was located on the railway outside of Cedarville, covering an area with a diameter of about half a kilometer!
The strong malice and sense of danger released from this magic circle blocked Catalina's view of the city of Sedawell.

Before Catalina discovered this magic circle, she could only rely on a sense of disharmony that emerged intuitively to cover up the malice and danger in the city of Sedawell at the end of her vision.

That's why she felt "strange" about this city, which should not be considered "dangerous" despite the presence of Ye He.

"Stop this car and prepare... to fight!"

Following Catalina's order, the maids around her rushed out immediately.

Some of the maids jumped out of the window and climbed onto the roof of the train, while others guarded the carriage where Catalina was.

There was even a head maid who turned into a breeze and blew towards the front of the train. In less than half a minute, the emergency whistle of the train was sounded, and the entire train began to brake urgently on the tracks.

The people on the train were caught off guard and staggered all over the place, but at least the whole train did not crash into the huge magic circle.

Because Catalina discovered it early and stopped the train quickly, the front of the train just stopped on the track, still a full kilometer away from the edge of the magic circle.

At this time, Catalina ignored the programmers who were comforting the passengers and rescuing the unfortunate injured, and got off the train with her royal maids, walking onto the tracks towards the magic circle.

"Hehehe... As expected of you... the First Princess..."

Catalina stopped dozens of meters away from the magic circle, and a man's voice full of evil, as if coming from a grave, also came from the magic circle.

"Dang Cang! Dang Cang!"

The leading maid immediately drew out her sword and tore off her maid uniform, revealing a set of close-fitting armor with a bauhinia flower pattern.

The other maids also pulled out various weapons from their skirts, including whips, daggers, daggers, and so on.

But there was one maid who pulled out a two-handed warhammer from under her skirt, which was particularly eye-catching and made people particularly curious about how she hid this big thing.

Fortunately, with the enemy at hand, no one would care about this detail. Katarina took a step forward and asked the magic circle in front of her:
"Come out, Nicholas, I know it's you."

"Wow~!"

The man exclaimed in mock surprise, and then the concealing effect of the magic circle began to fade, revealing a man standing on a tattered-looking locomotive.

"It's an honor to be known by... Her Highness the First Princess..."

The man, who was as thin as a skeleton, smiled and bowed to Catalina, but the look in his eyes was full of murderous intent. No matter how you looked at it, it seemed that he had bad intentions!
"Nicholas, a defector from the [Dead Swamp] organization, the "third seat" of the [Eye of Hell], a federal S-level wanted criminal, codenamed Nightmare Train Captain..."

Catalina explained Nicholas's origins expressionlessly, then waved her hand and asked the maids to run towards Nicholas:

"From the second you entered the empire, I have been keeping an eye on your movements!"
